I’m beginning to think that the authors of Modernist Cuisine are evil. No, I’m not talking about the whole patent troll brouhaha. I’m talking about the recipes. Surely they are out to kill me. Why would I say such a thing, you might ask? Well, let me ask you: have you ever made their corn bread? No? And how about their bacon jam? I see. Let me try to explain.

We haven’t been posting too much over here lately, but it’s summertime and we’ve been busy. Scott just finished a stage at Modernist Cuisine’s Cooking Lab, and Eric’s been working 16 hour days at Blueacre, now that he’s the sous chef. I’ve got my own things going on as well, and now that the sun is finally out in full force around here, we keep finding excuses to be outside instead of inside. But we still manage to hang out now and again.
